2 | Warnings & Precautions
Read all safety warnings and all instructions in this manual carefully before using or
installing the radiator. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire, serious injury, or all of the above. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
Check that all ancillary components are present and that the product has not
suffered any damage during transit.
NOTE - This radiator is supplied with an electric heating element and is for use
with an electric supply only. The product cannot be used as part of a central heating
system or as a dual source radiator. This radiator has been pre-filled and adjusted
for electric use. No filling is required. Do not remove any of the seals as this might
cause leakages and void the warranty. Improper adjustment of the fluid level in the
radiator can cause malfunction.
The radiator can be used for heating throughout the home provided it is fitted with
and controlled via the supplied heating element. Consult the manual of the supplied
element for full safety, installation and functionality details.

Warning
As with conventional radiators, this electric radiator will get hot to
the touch during operation. If the radiator is left on full power for a
prolonged period of time the surface temperature can rise to 70 °C
(+/- 5 °C). Particular attention should be given where children and
vulnerable adults are present.
Warning
When drilling or fixing into walls, floors or ceilings it is essential you check for
pipes and wires before commencing. Please ensure that you wear all
necessary personal protective equipment.

*The heating element is packaged separately from the radiator and may arrive in a
separate delivery.
The tools you will require for this installation are listed below. Please note that these
materials are not supplied with the radiator.

3-2 | Fitting the element
Full instructions for fitting the element can be found within the element manual. The
user must ensure installation is in accordance with the following:
• The element must be fitted at the bottom of the radiator on the side. It may be
fitted on the left or right side.
• The heating element must not be connected to the electric supply until it is
secured inside the radiator and correctly orientated.
• The radiator is filled with an anti-freezing liquid exactly to the level required by
the element. Ensure that no liquid is lost during installation.
• Do not hang the radiator with the heating element at the top (Figure 1).
3-3 | Wall mounting
1. Check that the wall is strong enough to hold the weight of the pre-filled radiator.
The fixings supplied are suitable for use in solid masonry. For any other wall type
you will need to source appropriate fixings. If fitting to a plasterboard wall, either

fit directly to the wooden struts or otherwise strengthen the wall; do not fix
through plasterboard alone. Additional Brackets are available on request.
2. Use the mounting template printed onto the box to measure the positions for the
Brackets.
Alternatively, if you are fitting the radiator to a stud wall and struggling to line the
Bracket positions up with the studs, it may be useful to choose a custom mounting
position.
a. Choose a distance between the Brackets (A) that corresponds with your
specifications.
b. Check that the Brackets (A) slot between the radiator bars correctly. Adjust
Bracket distances if necessary.
c. Use a tape measure, spirit level and positions decided in a. and b. to mark
the custom drilling positions on the wall.
3. Drill the ten required holes in the wall using a 10mm drill bit and push the Wall
Plugs (B) inside.
4. Position the Brackets (A) over the holes and fix in place with the Wall Screws (C).
5. The radiator is now ready to mount. You may choose to add the optional security
Bracket at this stage, see Figure 3.
a. Lift the radiator onto the Brackets.
b. OPTIONAL – Position the remaining Bracket pointing downwards above
one of the top Brackets, such that the radiator top bar is now locked in
place. Mark the Bracket location on the wall before lifting the radiator off
the Brackets.

c. Use the 10mm drill bit to drill the marked Bracket hole and push the
remaining Wall Plugs (B) inside. Replace the radiator, re-position the
Bracket (A) and use the remaining Wall Screws (C) to fix.
3-4 | Connecting the element
Wiring the heating element to the mains is a job for a qualified electrician. Please
consult the element manual for full instructions and safety warnings, paying special
consideration to the following:
• The radiator and its element are designed to be used under AC 230
voltage and should be connected to the household fixed wiring by a
qualified electrician in accordance with national wiring regulations. Risk
of electric shock.
• Do not install the radiator under or in front of a power socket or connector box.
• The power lead must be connected to a socket which must be at least 25cm from
the floor. Do not connect the element to the power supply until it is secured within
the radiator and correctly orientated, as demonstrated in Figure 1.
4 | Cleaning
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will keep the surface of your product looking
new. Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners as these will damage the finish over
time.
After the first two hours of heating, it is recommended to bleed this radiator, to release
excess pressure and ensure the best performance.
